Printed from: http://petersburgcity.com/news/culture/2001/09/19/pastel/ Culture news, 19.09.2001 12:57 Pastels of Western European painters in the Hermitage collections.
Exhibition “Pastels of Western European painters in the Hermitage collections of XVIII - early XX centuries” opened in the 12 Columns Hall of the New Hermitage. 65 masterpieces of French, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Italian artists are displayed, among them – works by Renoir, Manet, Degas, Picasso. However, the exhibition's conception is not just to show single bright works but to let a viewer get a general idea of the museum's collection and show the development of the pastel technique and style. The last big exposition of pastel works was held in Hermitage 30 years ago.
